okay, now remember what we had here? and i'm not going to dust it off. i'm going to do something new and i built this two years ago as we had nothing to worry about last year. this is the impact meter. how will the storm impact you in terms of the time? and remember the big ordeal. and so on a scale of one to ten, i think this is going to be under one hour for tomorrow. the problem with this is that it will be the timing. that's why it's even showing up on the impact meter as it will be occurring in the evening commute. temperatures are cold. 21 in gaithersburg, 23 in leesburg and 23 in manassas. even 26 downtown. as we talk about the wind gust, still gusting up to 24 miles per hour in manassas and 26 miles per hour wind gusts downtown. that means it feels like it's in the low to mid-teens. feels like 14 in gaithersburg, 14 downtown and 14 in manassas. so tonight yes, dry and cold.

8 to 18, clear skies. some high clouds will be coming in by dawn and low temperatures 8 to 18. northwest winds at 10. we'll come back and talk more about the specifics of the storms. how much will fall and a look ahead to the fall next week. >> okay, topper. metro has big dreams. extensions that are out to virginia, maryland suburbs. new tunnels, maybe a new station in one of the oldest parts of the city. bruce leshan, he's got the big reveal and the big price tags. metro's packed platforms here at rush hour and then imagine it many times worse. in the next few decades, they predict another 1.6 million that will move here. >> they are putting the city aside in the middle of the region. >> reporter: the current tunnel under the river, they are already maxed out at 26 trains an hour. >> we simply can't fit anymore trains with the existing tunnel under the potomac. so you have to do something else. >> reporter: so metro, they are dreaming of a new tunnel under

the potomac. another harder view for the city. and an extension to centreville, potomac mills, and bowie. maybe even a station in georgetown as people wanted that there to pay for it. >> it's a great idea. i don't know how to get here. >> reporter: urban legend has it that the people of georgetown, they did not want metro coming here. and that the reality is that it is difficult and expensionive to tunnel through the bedrock here. >> if you don't make this investment, you're making a very serious mistake about the future of the region. >> and by some counts, the total price tag, they might run to $26 billion. over the next three decades that is. but planners say that the cost of doing nothing are far higher. >> this investment pays for itself. >> reporter: now the big question, where to get the dedicated cash flow to pay for the investment. bruce leshan, wusa9. >> wow. so many more people predicted

to come. metro planners say this is really just a draft and now they will go out to d.c., maryland and virginia to see what the district wants and what they are willing to pay for. gun control advocates are taking their first steps trying to ban the military-style assault weapons. the california's democratic woman introduced that legislation today on the hill. now, the bill she has would make 151 weapons illegal, including assault weapons and ammo magazines holding more than 10 rounds. >> we're not trying to seize everybodies guns, but we need reasonable gun control in this country or guess what, it will happen again. >> and remember how they used to be our chief, they are launching the sleeping plans. and the interactive web plan and they are off to richmond to promote the gun control. two people behind bars tonight, accused of the murder of the prince george's county

teenager. coming less than 24 hours after the meeting was held looking for the information and the killings. scott broom has more from the police headquarters tonight. >> i'm scott broom at prince george's county police headquarters where police, they are crediting the anonymous tips with helping them make these two arrests in a case that they say is gang related. >> the rival gang members. and the president at a birthday party in the residential home. >> reporter: the police chief said that the victim, the 16- year-old marcus jones, he was affiliated with the local gang in ft. washington called the danger boys. he was shot outside the birthday party on saturday night. now under arrest and charged with murder are the 19-year-old of ft. washington and the 17-year-old of oxen hill. they were members of a rival group known as baby haiti, a third unidentified suspect is still being sought. >> marcus jones was also affiliated with a different local gang.

>> i'm still in shock, it's a tragedy. >> reporter: the principal of the high school said that the danger boys are on the radar of school security officials. members of the gangs are targets of counseling and mentoring at school. a beefed up security presence has been at the school since the disturbance broke out tuesday in the wake of the jones murder. jones is the fourth high school student that dies in prince george's county this school year. but the cases have nothing in common except that they are all tragedies. in prince george's county, scott broom, wusa9. defense secretary makes a historic announcement, clearing the way for women in combat. >> if you are willing to put your lives on the line, then we would like to recognize that they deserve a chance to serve to any capacity they want. >> now, the new policy would open up more than 200,000 front- line jobs to women mostly in the army and the marines lifting the banned means more advancement and higher pay for

female officers. the new policy will be phased in over the next three years. kristin fisher joins us live in the satellite center with reaction to the shift. kristin? >> reporter: this shift in policy is right up there with the reversal of don't ask don't tell. not only in the military, but the civilian world as well. >> we want equal rights, and this is what i know that a woman could do the job. and that they can. i wish that they did not have to go. >> it is a shame to send our daughters to fight instead of encouraging them to do things that will be more beneficial to them and their families. men should fight, men should protect, serve, and do justice to our country. so i'm very disappointed about

the decision. >> reporter: i spoke with those four civilians in the shadows of the vietnam memorial. back then the majority of the women in the military were nurses, but not captain lori manning. she enlisted in 1969 and volunteered to go to vietnam, but was denied. >> for 69 years there was a slow progression for what women were allowed to do in the military. this is the last stop on the road. women are now fully integrated into the military. >> reporter: and women have been serving in ground combatoperations. 152 have been killed in iraq and afghanistan. the difference now, women can be in the elite special operations unit like the navy seals. >> the burden used to be that we would say why should a woman serve in a particular specialty? well now it's why shouldn't a woman share in that particular specialty? >> reporter: women, they will still have to meet this strength requirement that are needed to meet the certain

requirements for very physically demanding areas for the navy seals. and they still have the opportunity to seek the exemption from this new policy if they think that it will be within the unit's best interest to keep women out. and as secretary panetta said today, every woman in the military will at least have a chance to apply to one of these units in the near future. >> all right, kristin, thank you. tonight, the u.s. diplomats are urging north korea to call off their planned nuclear test. this time they are not hiding the real deal. the rogue nation said they have the right to defend themselves including testing their capability to hit the u.s. with missiles. china is also calling the nation to back off. being catapulted just like that one. president obama has tapped the massachusetts democrat to

succeed. hillary clinton as secretary of state. today, kerry faces a confirmation hearing held by the senate foreign relations committee who is the outgoing chairman of that committee and he is expected to sail through the confirmation process. tonight reports of an eminent threat in benghazi. they are all urging their citizens to get out of there right away. now, this threat comes one day after the secretary of state hillary clinton testified about the terror attack on that city. coming up in your only local newscast at 7:00, a young child battling cancer gets a chance to do something that some girls could only dream of. that's coming your way, 9 news at 7:00. >> see you then, derek. still ahead in this half hour, why an app design today keep drivers safe may be as dangerous as texting. and also living large. find out how the law is allowing him to live

a young man andre barbosa is probably both. he had two dimes, but he lives in a mansion in boca raton, florida. how? well he's a squatter. he moved in when the bank foreclosed on it. you can claim it after seven years if the real owner does

nothing and you pay the property taxes. so far the bank has done nothing, but how long will that last? >> reporter: in order for this person to end up legally owning the property, he would have to have an enormous amount of good luck. >> pretty lucky right now. for now, he's enjoying the five bedrooms, six baths, gourmet kitchen, swimming pool, and the marina in the backyard. i'm not sure that the boat is included. still ahead on wusa9, a look at voice activated texting, is it safe for drivers? the results of the virginia study. now sitting in

killed by the former culpepper police officer. he traveled to new jersey to watch them go on trial for murder. he is accused of shooting and killing patricia cook in the parking lot last year. the jury in the murder trial of the former police officer, heard from eight

witnesses today. those witnesses either heard or saw that fatal shooting. >> pat was very loving and very creative. >> she was not a violent woman as she had a tendency of being intimidated by people in this authority. >> reporter: he was married to gary cook who died several months after being killed in the school parking lot. she was sitting in her jeep wrangler when the school's office manager and skyler asked her to leave. skyler called police when cook refused to leave. the officer told the police investigator that cook trapped his fingers in the window and had to shoot to keep it from being dragged. they asked skyler, did you see that police officer trapped? no, he said. did he look like he was going

to be runed over? no. a new study out of the virginia tech shows the smart phone texting option, designed to make driving safer. and that it could do more harm than good as we are talking about the talk to text function on your phone. the study, they found the voice control text messaging, resulting in the higher mental demand. that might be why some drivers, they avoid using that voice activated technology. >> you're still going to want to look down and make sure that it was right. you'll probably see something that was incorrect and go back and type it and then you just spent more time. >> reporter: in place of the cat views, that they would need to write. >> yeah, you don't want to mess with that. put the phone down, honestly the best way to go. >> more snow video to bring you tonight. let's take a look at it today. it wasn't enough to bring it down to a halt for a lot of

people as they had the big delays. you've got to take it easy as we are not used to winter weather when it's been like this. that's the good news today, the best driving snow that you could have today. a live look outside. that's at the kennedy center. the high temperature of 29. right now it's 26. the dew point at 0. the humidity at 5%. winds are northwest at 13 as they will be calming down here shortly. the snowfall amounts, .4 inches at reagan. west of rockville, 1.1 inch, vienna, 1.1 and fredericksburg, 1.1 generally they had some spots with three and a half.

23 in rockville, real temperatures. not just windchills. 22 already in fairfax. we're looking at 26 down in springfield. 25 over in college park and 23 over here. so now here is what's happening. we have another clipper that will be racing through the upper valleys. another storm is pulling out of this area, into the tennessee valley to go south of us. we are caught between the two storms. neither one is really cranking out too much for you. we are kind of going to end up in that dead zone. so we're going to get some snow breaking out tomorrow, but in terms of it becoming a bigger storm, just don't think so. how much snow, maybe an inch downtown or half an inch in culpepper. the winner will be across the divide in the ski resorts in oakland and down towards timberline. cold and dry in the morning. morning commute is dry. evening commute will be slow. they will have some snow.

the bulk will see a -- will see closer to an inch. clear and very cold. few high clouds by dawn as the winds die down. there could be single digits. could be 9 in leesburg tonight and hay market. the snow could break out west of town. mostly cloudy and cold elsewhere. teens and 20s. snow breaks out in the metro area with the high of 26 to 30. again, one to three inches are possible by 8:00 tomorrow. three days we are looking at temperatures with the weather alert tomorrow. then we're green over the weekend. 32 on saturday as we finally get above freezing on sunday. we're back in the upper 30s. now the next three days, a pretty big warm up here. temperatures in the 40s. 50s with maybe a shower on tuesday, still in the mid-50s with rain on wednesday, we'll cool off a little bit on

thursday as temperatures go back to the lower 40s. not a big storm, not a great time for the evening commute either. >> maybe an inch. just slow down, right? >> yes. continuing in a big way. >> i can't wait. i wish the game was tomorrow. >> yes. it would be better that way. over a day at the ravens with a little view for you from ray lewis. >> i don't know. that's all the time. all right, now they are putting the big key together. coming up for you. and hear what they felt was the big struggle at the verizo [ male announcer ] now at your neighborhood subway: the big hot pastrami melt.

team of destiny. is there really such a thing? i guess if you listen to the ravens you might think so. he's replaced the speeches as they are quick to mention that something special has been happening in and around owings mills. hard to imagine that. baltimore, they needed to show you that there as well with the injuries, the deaths, as the team has overcome a lot. >> we have really grown together. not just growing from the

perspective, but that we have been through a lot of heart aches with each other. that's what makes the team so special. >> it's the last time that we will be together as we're a clear yows opportunity. >> that's what you have always wanted. that's what you have prepared in the off season to play that game to get to today. >> he's got great views going there. don't be throwing that his way. they say that you will see him next year. he's been banged up a lot for the past few years. this could be a great way to read jokes there as they just bought that bike. >> all right. now, if you had questions about the caps coming in this season, then you really have questions now. two games, ten goals given up. boy, not like this. he probably has a crook in his neck because all he has been
